Amazon RenewedApple Watch Series 8 [GPS + Cellular, 45mm] - Midnight Aluminum Case with Midnight Sport Band, M/L (Renewed)

This isn't a long term review, but if anything changes I'll update it. As of now the watch is amazing. I see after one person mentioned presentation, that improved greatly with mine lol. Packaging aside, everything is working great, battery life is 100%. The entire watch looks and feels brand new from the apple store. The first day had me seriously concerned about the battery lasting though, but apparently the watch was just doing a lot of downloading and setting up in the background which was decreasing the battery by at least 20% per hour which I thought seemed nuts. After changing some settings and getting things set up efficiently plus the set up process finalizing, everything is perfect. Under normal circumstances it's been on for over an hour now with a few text alerts coming through etc. and battery is still 100%. At this rate it should last a solid amount of time. The apps on this are really cool. The health stuff like heart monitoring and blood oxygen levels are awesome to have. The workout apps are set up pretty nice as well. It would be nice if there were a better way to do updates and whatnot though than doing it via your iphones bluetooth. Like youtube reviews etc. mention it's sooooo slow. I thought something was wrong with the watch at first. Set up and downloading watchOS 10 take a solid 3-4 hours. The install is beyond slow doing it via bluetooth. Going through this thing with a fine tooth comb and getting every single app optimized for battery efficiency etc. took a good 12 plus hours and a ton of youtube videos all mentioning different little tips and tricks. Lots of troubleshooting occurred too. The complications on the watches face screen weren't functioning right which required to reset the location and privacy data in the phone plus a couple other steps. The watch was doing a lot of weird stuff that was destroying it's battery and wasting storage at rapid speeds. That's all just apple, nothing to do with it being renewed or the seller etc. They all run the same software in them regardless. Just being real about it, the set up process of this watch wasn't pleasant and kinda made me disappointed in the purchase initially but once I got that out of the way it's working incredibly well. Also this being a cellular version, you need to contact your carrier in advance and register this with them via the IMEI number from the phone's about section. You'll just get errors when trying to set up cellular prior to that. All in all though, the watch is great, and I love the design, especially how easy it is to switch out straps of whatever style or color you want. Those are much cheaper than I expected them to be as well so I immediately grabbed a handful of different options. Definitely recommend anyone interested in an apple watch to try this. It shows up in brand new condition, these only came out less than a year ago so even original parts are still very lightly used with a long life ahead of them. Even with a few frustrations, it gets two thumbs up from me.

The watch arrived quicker than expected. Looks like a brand new watch and operates like one as well. No scratches at all. Will see how it continues to operate but have no reason to think otherwise.

Last of the Apple Watches with the oxygen monitor. I really like the feature of Apple Watches and my wife needed to replace her FitBit and I convinced her to try out that Apple Watch instead. It is a bit different but everything works well. Buying the refurbished watch was well worth it and it looks like new (we paid a bit more for one described as excellent).

I purchased this Apple Watch refurbished with an “Excellent” quality rating. When it arrived it has some white scratches along the aluminum casing. The screen also had some light scratches but was mostly not noticeable unless you really looked. Not a big deal I decided to look past those issues, even though I paid for an “Excellent” quality refurbished device.Upon turning the watch on I notice it glitched out a lot when I touched the screen. I figured it was cause I wasn’t wearing it and was at a weird angle so my touches weren’t registering right.I let it charge as it was on 3% out of the box and it took 4 hours to charge to 50%. It came with the old generation charger (USB not USB-C) as well without a box if you’re curious.When it finally charged I put it on and set it up. I immediately noticed the screen was not responsive and when it was it was incredibly glitchy. It would tap characters multiple times or just not respond at all. This is consistent every time I go to use the watch.I reached out to Amazon who referred me to the seller to see if they could offer a replacement. They did not. They refused to assist me guiding me to return the device through Amazon and get my money back.After coordinating with Amazon they agreed a return is the best solution and offered me a promo credit on my next purchase for the inconvenience and the sellers inability to resolve the problem.I also activated this device within my phone plan prior to confirming it was fully functional, but this is not anyone’s fault but my own. I’ll call that a personal loss. Just some advice to anyone purchasing an Apple Watch with intentions to activate it within their plan, test drive the watch a bit first. I’m now out $50 and have a useless line on my phone plan that I cannot use until I purchase a new Apple Watch from a different seller.

I was a little nervous about buying a pre-owned Apple Watch Series 8 as a gift, but it arrived in excellent condition. No visible damage at all, and the battery life has been solid I even ran a battery check to be sure. Both myself and the person I bought it for are very happy with it. Great purchase and a pleasant surprise for a pre-owned item!

Watch sold as excellent condition and it truly is. Case is perfect, band is perfect and only a few very minor scratches on the glass. Watch has to be off and at the perfect angle to even notice. Irrelevant wear and completely unnoticeable while screen is on. Battery health is 99% which if low would have been a dealbreaker and I’d return. I’m very satisfied and feel like I got a great deal. After setup and updates the battery has got me 2 days of use per charge. Not everyone may get a gem so good luck. I will update review if anything negative happens.

Arrived in great condition without a single scratch one on it. I purchased the Apple series 8 for my IPhone 13. Going to Verizon to add it to my account but so far I’m more than satisfied.

Works really well and only had a small scratch on the crown but is absolutely worth it for the discount. Battery life is not an issue and I use it every day for work. Overall would recommend
